Not only did I just have a fight with my brothers but I'm currently in the human realm. Some witches called me said they were done waiting and double what I owed. I highly doubt that's how debt works but I'm to tiered to remember at the moment.
"Huh" a few drops of rain fell on my face before it started to pour. Ugh today is just not my day is it. Why does it always have to be me. Does levi have debt dose asmo dose Lucifer? No they don't they don't deal with what I go through. Dose that make my life worse or am I just jealous? I don't know maybe I'm just an idiot that's what everyone says anyway. I know my brothers well, extremely well I'd like to think but I don't see everything they go through. Maybe that's why they say all those things. Maybe I deserve it I do steal there stuff a lot but I can't really control my greed. Dose stealing something really make it ok to call me useless, a burden, to tell me to kill myself? I know they love me and I love them even though we rarely say it to each other often but I mean. Ugh why is life so hard why can't everything just go my way even though I know it's impossible.
I walked under an awning of some old shop and started to dry myself off. I shouldn't be thinking about these things I'm The Great Mammon after all and I have bigger things to deal with right now. Like how I'm going to deal with my debt. I've run all my get rich quick schemes into the dirt so what do I do now.
"MOM-M-MY DADDY WHE-E-ERE ARE YOU I DONT WANT TO BE ALONE!"
I looked across the street to see a little boy sobbing on the side walk. It was pretty late so no one was around. Now that I think about why is a kid out this late actually what's with me and stumbling upon lost kids. The kid looked pretty young maybe 5 years old had black hair and looked pretty well fed. He was still sobbing I'm a demon I shouldn't be doing this but I can't just leave him. So I ran cross the street to at least try and help the kid.
"Hey kid are you o-" "STRANGER DANGER" He then swept my legs and I fell to the ground.
"OMG SIR ARE YOU OK" he still had a few tears running down his face but still looked concerned.
"Ugh ya kid I'm good. Your pretty tough for your age you know that." I got up and brushed myself off "Nothing The Great Mammon can't handle"
"Huh like-e-e the demon..." he then started to back away from me.
Right little kid, of course he still believes demons are real. I mean they are, but older humans don't know that. Why does this kid know ancient demon names...
"No no it's just a umm nickname I use for fun you know? My real name is ummmm" I looked around for a bit trying to come up with a name "ummm m-mason my name is mason"
The kid looked at me for a bit before letting out a small chuckle "hehe your funny sir my name is Julius and I'm 5 years old"
Called it "Well nice to meet you kid"
"Julius"
"Where'd you learn to kick like that" he wasn't crying anymore and it looked like stars appeared in his eyes when I asked him that question
"Really you want to talk about it" he was practically jumping for joy
"Sure" I looked around for a moment and saw a red bench "let's sit down first" he then followed me to the bench and hopped up on it "hey kid catch" I then threw him a snickers bar I was saving for later. There goes my snack I guess.
He looked at it for a bit then back at me "... is this poisoned"
"I was going to eat that so I'd hope not" I then checked my pockets just In case to make sure I didn't give he the chocolate bar from the devildom with extra cyanide flavoring. Luckily it was still in my pocket.
"Oh, ok then!" He then took off the wrapper and took a big bite into it. He then started to ramble to me about how he's learning martial arts. Said he's doing judo and it's all about doing things unarmed. He wants to someday go to the olympics and win. Such a big dream for such a small kid.
"I just came back from a judo competition. I got first place and my mom and dad were really proud and took me for ice cream I got cookies and ummm what's it called again?" he looked down for a bit like he was thinking really hard
"Cream"
"Oh ya thank you sir! I never had it before and it was amazing what's your favorite ice cream sir" he then turned to me with the biggest grin. He had chocolate all over his face when he saw me looking at his mouth he turned his head confused before looking at his mouth through my sunglasses. His face then turned a bit red before taking a tissue out of his pocket and wiping his face with it, I could barely hold back a chuckle.
"Well if you must know I love a good butter pecan" I thought that was a pretty good answer but apparently the kid didn't think so.
"That's pretty boring sir"
"Hey I'll let you know that's a pretty good answer" wouldn't be the first time my ice cream choicest were disrespected "just continue the the story"
"Oh ya! So it was so good I finished eating it really fast. Mommy and daddy were paying so I looked out the window and I saw this really cute doggie. I went and followed it because I wanted to see if it had a owner but when I looked around I lost the dog and-d-d I was lost" he then started hiccuping and crying. I pat the kid on the back a few times before asking a few questions.
"Do you remember what store you were in?" He looked at me and let out a small no
"Ok then what do they look like?" The kid was starting to wipe away a few of his tears
"Mommy has short black hair and really pretty black eyes shes also as tall as daddy oh and-d she had her favorite pink blouse on with a pretty purple flower on her hair" he the leaned into me me and I wrapped my arm around him.
"What about your dad do you remember what he looked like?"
"He um like mommy also had black hair but he had blue eyes and um had a blue jeans on." he then started sniffing a lot "I want mommy and daddy" he then hugged me sobbing into my chest. I gave him a pat on the head and held him close. I then called over a crow a told it everything the boy told me.
Not even did a minute pass when the crow told me they were just around the corner. I pat it on the head and thanked it before standing up holding the child in my arms.
"Huh sir where are we going?" Looking at me very curiously
"You'll see" is all I said before turning the corner
"JULIUS PLEASE WHERE ARE YOU" a voice came through the rain
"Huh" the boys eyes widened and he looked around
"Hank please calm down we will find him"
"I WILL NOT CALM DOWN ARE BOY IS LOST IN THE RAIN AND YOU WANT ME TO CALM DOWN"
"Oh lord... please you're making a seen"
"MOMMY DADDY" the kid then ran up to his parents and hugged them
"Julius? my god we were terrified" the mom patted the boy on the head.
"I'm ok mommy I missed so much" the kid hung on to his mom when she picked him up like his life depended on holding on. Both her and her husband both looked just like how the kid said they looked liked but they were both holding sleek black umbrellas looked pretty expensive too. I was about to walk away till. "Mister mason helped me find you don't tell him I said this but his taste in ice cream really sucks"
I completely stopped in my tracks when both parents looked at me. When the dad started to walk up to me I started to stutter a bit "oh well umm you know don't really he he want t- oh" I stopped in my tracks when the dad gave me a hug
"Thank you so much he's sometimes the only thing that keeps us going when life just gets a bit to hard" I didn't know what to do so I just hugged back. After about 10 seconds it started getting weird so he backed off and gave me a small pat on the shoulder.
"Hank look at him already asleep" I then looked back at the mom who was holding Julius to her chest. "Mason if I'm correct" I just nodded my head up and down not really knowing what to do. "Wonderful! If I may ask did you ever work in child care"
"Huh umm ya- ya how did you know" mammon what in the WORLD ARE YOU DOING
"Julius has always been very shy, we are very busy people so whenever we try and put him in daycare for after school. He is sadly always in the corner never talking to anyone even the staff. But he can talk to you perfectly! By any chance do you work in any daycare maybe even own one by chance?" She looked at me with hopeful eyes like she maybe just hit the the jackpot.
"Well you see..." omd just say no nows your chance to get out of this mess "I don't actually own any" thank diavolo "But in about a 2 months the golden daycare will be open for business owned but your truly!" HOW COULD YOU BLOW THIS YOU JUST HAD TO SAY NO THAT WAS IT!!!!!
"Really well that's wonderful! Hank can you give mister mason my phone number." The father walked over to me a handed me a business card. I fumbled a bit before I handed mine over."I can't wait to see it. I hope to get a call the day it opens. Oh and that's for helping us find are working boy." As she walked away I flipped over the card to find maybe 500 dollars nicely folded on the back of the card.
"I wait Huh" all I could do was stare at the 5 hundred dollars
"Oh one more thing mister mason" she stopped in he tracks as she turned to look at me giving a nice warm smile "You have the most potential I've ever seen. Like I said Julius is very shy but him actually being able to hold a conversation with someone other then me and his father let alone a stranger he meet on the street I could never even imagine. Do not make me regret this mister mason I would hate to have been wrong." She then turned around and the last thing I heard from her as her husband followed behind was "have a nice day mister mason"
I walked back around the corner and sat on the bench me and the kid where just at. A bunch of crows started to land on me and nuzzled into me. Never was a smile so warm yet cold at the same time.
"What did I just get myself into"
